DescriptionThe hyperinsulinemic clamp is used to measure insulin action in vivo.
Hyperinsulinemic clamps are performed on conscious mice with catheters
chronically implanted in the jugular vein and carotid artery. A continuous
infusion of insulin is given. Glucose levels are monitored in arterial samples
every 10 min using a glucose analyzer that allows the analysis of glucose with
only 1 µl of blood. Glucose is infused in the jugular vein catheter at rates
necessary to achieve the desired glucose level, based on feedback from arterial
glucose measurements. These methods allow assessment of the responsiveness of
the body to insulin. Blood from a donor animal is infused to maintain blood
volume. By combining this technique with the tracer method one can also examine
the impact of insulin on suppression of endogenous glucose production. (1, 2) 1.
